The United Socialist States of Greater Hyborea is a massive, safe nation, notable for its closed borders, avowedly heterosexual populace, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.265 billion Greater Hindias are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tan Malakastadt. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Greater Hyborean economy, worth 163 trillion labour vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 129,592 labour vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Hyborea's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Greater Hyborea is ranked 284,924th in the world and 158th in 8th International for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.98 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
